April Calendar Girl {Book Review}


Title: April Calendar Girl

Author: Audrey Carlan

Book Description:

Baseball, beer, and a hot boy. Nothing can beat that. Until I meet Mason “Mace” Murphy the next “it” pitcher for the Boston Red Sox and my client. He’s immature, arrogant, sexy as sin, and the last man that’s going to get into my panties. He’s not used to hearing the word no from women, so I’m going to spell it out for him.

N = Not going to happen.

O = Out of your league buddy.

I was hired to cuddle up to the annoying, beautiful athlete, and give prospective advertisers and fans a different view of this hot-shot professional baller.

Only he’s everything I detest in a man all wrapped into a dream package. Baseball player, talented, athletic body, sculpted face, and ass you can bounce quarters off of. Unfortunately, he also believes he’s God’s gift to women, a man-whore, throws money around like it grows on trees, and conceited. The challenge for him, to break down my defenses and get in there. My challenge, avoid hopping in the sack with him at all costs.

***
Mia Saunders continues her mission to save her comatose father from her dangerous, loan-shark ex-boyfriend. This month, she serves as a high-priced escort to a professional baseball player named Mace Murphy in Boston, MA.

Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia’s journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.

Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content. 

My Review:

This is the first I have read anything from this author and in this series. I didn't realize when I signed up to read this book that it was part of a serial series. I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of serial's. But when I had signed up to read this I thought it sounded good. I mean I do enjoy Baseball Boy's.

This book is not your typical romance. In fact I'm even hesitant to even really say this one had any romance in it. In this Installment Mia has been hired to play the girlfriend to baseball player Mason.

I did find Mia to fun and playful in this installment. And definitely knows how to play the part that she has been hired for.

I liked Mason,  even though he tried to play the arrogant,  cocky player.

I'm trying really to think of the right words for this review. Not because I disliked this book. Because that's far from the truth, I enjoyed this installment.  But because I didn't realize that this was a serial series I was a little confused with what was going on. I mean it's obvious that Mia has strong feelings for Wes. Than Mason had strong feelings for Rachael.

I'm only going to be able to give this one 3.5 Stars Out of 5 and would say make sure you read this series in order. I'll have to go back and read the other installments.

Devil on Your Back is Now Available! 




SYNOPSIS 

When all you have left is choice, how do you ensure you make the right one? I thought that losing my family was the linchpin to my suffering; the thing which would forever hold my head under the dark waters of regret. But I was wrong … so wrong. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, and what threatens us only serves to feed the beast. My boy is in trouble, and it’s time this father stood up for what he should have a long time ago. Only, after years of believing I deserved to spend my days alone, punishing myself for the mistakes I made, I’ve finally found the truth—her. When she needs me as much as my son, how will I decide which path to take? Will I be doomed to forever make the wrong choice? And will I, once again, lose everything I love and drown in my regret?

Title: Heath (A Roughnecks Short, #2)
Author: Chelsea Camaron
Release Date: April 20, 2015
goodreads  
Blurb
“One day, I will be more than an item to be bought or sold, won or lost.” At fifteen, she was helpless. At eighteen, she was ruined. LoraLeigh Riffel fights every day to hold on to herself as she is tossed from the loser to the next winner, time and again.  Heath ‘Hitman’ Thomas works hard and plays even harder. From tripping pipes to winning fights, his world is in his hands. When a battered and unstable woman is left at his doorstep for payment on a fight, every-thing changes in an instant.  She is the prize, but is he willing to accept the payment?  
Excerpt
Copyright © Chelsea Camaron 2015
~LoraLeigh~ “Once upon a time…” my mom begins reading. The softness in her voice is a lullaby all its own. Sweet memories of a moment in time, these small blips in my existence are a silent torture all their own. “Lora—” She stops abruptly, most likely pulling her own hair out at the roots. “Fucking twat, where are you?” I listen as she continues to screech. “I know you took them. You took my candy, you little cunt. When I find you, I’m gonna claw your eyes out!” Did I imagine the bedtime stories? Is my subconscious playing tricks on me? Is this all some game, played in my mind? Where is the mom I had in my little girl dreams? The woman who once braided my hair and read me stories about castles and princes on white horses now lives to torment me. The last time she thought I hid her stash, she pulled my hair so hard it came out in a big chunk in her hand. Absently, I run my fingers over the still healing scratches on my face. Two days ago as she was tweaked out on God knows what, she attacked me, saying I was a zombie trying to eat her flesh. Rigging the string to the attic access door, I settle into my little nest. Today is the twenty-third. Any time after mid-month is when the stress level escalates. The welfare and food stamps have certainly run out by now. As soon as the first of every month comes, she trades the grocery card for cash. That very cash then pays for her stash while I live off my free breakfast and lunch at school each day. Tears fill my eyes. Summer is coming, and I know I will spend my days hungry and my nights hiding from whatever scumbag hangs out while she lives from one high to the next. “LoraLeigh, where did you put it?” she cries out desperately. “Please, baby girl, Momma needs her medicine.” The walls bang as she begins hitting them with her arms and head, trying to draw me out of hiding. “Dear God in heaven above,” I whisper as the tears fall down my face, “my friend at school, Tawnie, told me to believe in you. She says you protect little children. I need to be protected. Send me someone to take it all away. Please take me away.” I look to the darkened ceiling above me, hoping on some miracle there really is a God, and he will save me from my hell on earth.

Lance (Roughnecks Short, #3)
Value, worth—these are things I don’t have. College degree, great job—none of that matters if you look in the mirror and can’t find anything to love. Structure, dedication, and determination are the traits that Candace Jones has survived and thrived on. When no one cares at home, it takes her self-drive to push and work her way through college. Life is funny while you’re growing up, and adulthood isn’t any easier than childhood. Little girl dreams are often destroyed before they can even begin. Lance ‘Rush’ Miller works hard and plays even harder. He lives life from one adrenaline rush to the next, from working as a roughneck to trick riding his street bike. He has it made and knows it. Two complete opposites are thrown together when Candace finds herself in need of a quick escape that Lance is all too willing to give her. What happens when firm resolve crashes into wild abandon?

 Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

She realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice. Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspire the Love and Repair and Hellions Ride series. When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

My Review

    I have to say out of all the characters in these books, besides Anthony. I have to say Gabe has been one of my favorites in this series. 

    I really liked getting to know Gabe better in this book. And getting to know his backstory better. My heartbroke for everything he has been through. He had to grow up quickly after losing his parents and having to take care of his sister. 

    Viv was a very likable character. She's returned back home after spending years from running. I thought Viv also showed that she is strong. 

     There were definitely some twists and turns in the plot of this book like with the others. 

    I'm giving this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Saving Ayden {Book Review}


Title: Saving Ayden {The Last Hangman MC}

Author: Muriel Garcia

Book Description


Ayden and Anthony have been best friends forever. They did everything together and grew up around The Last Hangman MC. They've stuck together through the good and the bad, realizing that what they feel for each other is so much more than friendship. They confess their feelings and start dating but their happiness is short lived.

Ayden's life is changed in an instant...One minute she thinks everything is perfect, that she found her happily ever after and the next minute her whole world comes crashing down, forcing her to leave New Orleans.

She starts a new life in New York but realize it's not enough. She needs to go back to her roots, even if it means going back where the MC is.


Anthony let Ayden leave six years ago.

He's always regretted it and seeing her again confirms how much he wants her and needs her in his life.

He'll do all he can to have Ayden back and get the truth about why she took off years ago.

What happens when her past catches up with her and starts messing with her life again?

Will she give into the fear of what took place that night might occur again? Or will she trust Anthony and let him help her get through it?

What happens when she finds out who is behind all the bad things she went through in the past? Will she be strong enough to handle the truth? Or will it destroy her beyond repair?

***This book contains adult material intended for mature readers only***

My Review:

      This review is kind of hard for me to write. I had high hopes for this book with how much I love reading MC books. This was a new series and author to me. I also thought that the synopsis of the book sounded really good. 

   Now that beginning said the book started off kind of sweet. We got to know and see how Ayden and Anthony interact with each other. They seemed pretty much perfect for each other. 

    I will say this though by chapter 3 I started to notice that the book started to become very repetitive. And not just the chapters but like every other or every two paragraphs the same thought was repeated. Which honestly became quit irritating. But by the end of the book it had gotten better.

     I can say Ayden was an alright character. I thought she was quit whiny at times. But I guess that can be expected with what she went through. 

    I honestly thought Ant or Anthony was the only thing that saved this book. I loved his character. He's strong and sexy,  and very patient. Especially with Ayden.

    I can only give this book 3 out of 5 stars. Because of some of the things I mentioned above. 

      You can purchase Saving Ayden on  Amazon
